Signs someone is showing off/being a narcissist?

If they constantly are seen with either a mirror in their hand or are constantly looking at their own reflection. Also if they constantly use the word "bro" and/or have an entire Instagram dedicated to pictures of themselves (oh wait that is almost everybody) then they are most definitely a narcissist.

Warning: narcissism can lead to several health issues including but not limited to: falling in love with yourself and/or getting your ass whooped by anybody who sees you as an douche with no redeeming qualities.

narcissism (Noun): 1. douche
2. One who believes everything they say or do can be considered
an act of God. [see also Kim Kardashian (n) or Kanye (n)]

That could be someone who is just self centered. Also I really don't like when someone makes their Instagram strictly selfies. -_- like do you do anything else besides take pictures of yourself?

Everything is about them their needs and to heck with everybody else. Having no regard for other and showing no concern or empathy towards others. Showing up when they need something but nowhere to be found when others need something. Constantly postings things about them selves and bragging.

That could be someone who is just self centered aka mostly focused on themselves.

To me narcissism is when someone thinks they are better than others or special in someone. I think that is the only distinctive factor as they will most likely have poor communicative skills and others will find it hard to be around them.

I googled the definition and here is what it says: excessive or erotic interest in oneself and one's physical appearance. extreme selfishness, with a grandiose view of one's own talents and a craving for admiration, as characterizing a personality type. self-centeredness arising from failure to distinguish the self from external objects, either in very young babies or as a feature of mental disorder.

So I don't think either of us has it wrong.

Yep. I feel like we categorize people as narcissists often when they are just self centered- which isn't even that bad of a trait to have in today's society as it is dog eat dog. Narcissism is different though it's where the person could fail at something and still hold a very high opinion of themselves yet think others are below them in a way.

I don't know i just think it's interesting. People could say its when someone talks about themselves all the time, doesn't care about the needs of others, and etc. and they're really just talking about people who are self centered when in reality everyone is self centered.

People who are very into themselves. Talk about themselves constantly. When you try to talk about something, they turn it back around to them. I know people like this.

[Asker]

People like talking about themselves. You have to admit that everyone does this.
Maybe not constantly, but people like talking about themselves

I agree. I'm talking ALL the the time 🙄🙄🙄

[Asker]

Same I do it all the time.

[Opinion Owner]

That's too bad

[Asker]

Hm? How is that bad?

[Opinion Owner]

I guess it's not. It's just you being you.

[Asker]

Everyone does this. How does someone get to know you? I obviously don't talk about myself an exuberant amount as I'm more interested in others. But don't sit her and say too bad when you clearly just stated you do the same ^ hyprocritical. Bye

Get over yourself 💁🏼

[Asker]

Lol I'm pretty sure you just admitted to talking about yourself as well. Ever heard of the saying "enough about me, how about you?" well talking about yourself isn't bad. It turns into narcissism when you think you are better than someone or special in some way that others aren't which I don't believe. If you can truly sit there and act like you're never been in a scenario where you may have talked to much than alright, be a hypocrite. See ya 😘😜

"i agree. I am talking all the time"

[Asker]

Get over yourself too 😊

Umm hello. I was referring to what I had said before that. I know people like that... I'm talking ALL the time of the people I know who do that ALL the time.
Sorry if you misunderstood.

[Asker]

yeah you said it and I took it as you like talking about yourself.

[Asker]

Anywho, thank you for your input. Sorry if you and I had a misunderstanding here.

[Opinion Owner]

Me too. I'm glad it's solved and no hard feelings 😊
